As wildfires surged in Los Angeles, driven by climate change, they served as a grim reminder of the dangers posed by an administration that undermines climate efforts. With over 16,000 homes destroyed and nearly 30 lives lost, an alarming sentiment emerged from the youth, feeling betrayed by both the Trump and Biden administrations. While the Trump administration ramped up fossil fuel dependency and withdrew from global climate agreements, admirers of Biden felt let down by promises unfulfilled. The exhaustion and anger of young activists highlight the urgent need for real climate action to secure their future.
The fires are an awful harbinger of our rapidly warming world, which has already breached the so-called 'safe limit' set by the Paris Climate Agreement.
I'm exhausted watching this administration prop up an economy that mortgages my generation's future for short-term gain.
I'm tired of feeling outraged and grief-stricken as leaders systematically destroy our future while refusing to declare a true climate emergency.
